Y.boucbers,s Unborn Intuition.

On first looking at Labouchere you wouIi
call him a perfect man of the world. In
conversation, in particular, the expression
is one Of rare geniality; in conversation IN
general, while always retaining bis polite
elouuence of manner and blanl look OF IN
tarest, one can rarely probe beyond the sur
face. and can never learn what he does not
wish one to know. He is as deep as tho
sea. quicker than quicksilver, and so wide
awake under the seeming quiet and non
ehalance of his expression that 1 would adj
wise one never to be taken in by his general
exterior
He has such an Unborn intuition or men
and women and things; he has Travelled SO
much and is such student o. human ma
tire and reader of character, that L would
give him ten minutes after seeing person,
did he take the trouble to look at one, and
he usually takes the trouble would give
him ten minutes TO know that person body
and soul, and have him or her laid out on
mis- moral dissecting table, any portion or
member ready TO be analysed, brought
forth. and utiiizei at moments notice.
The man knows everything under the sun,
and his memory is prOiigious, especially OF
people. events, faces, and places. He has
simply to call upon this storehouse for any
mortal recollection, and memories come uT
at his bidding as genii appeared to Aladdin
when rubbing his wonderful lamp.-BIenchH

No Monument Erected to Regulus

We have just learned that there is no
monument to Regulus. Why has this been
neglected so long? More than 1000 years
have passed since he performed one OF the
most unselfish actions ever recorded
ReguIus was a Roman general in the war
against the Carthagenians. Being dee
feated and made prisoner, he was kept in
prison five years. Then reverses caused
his captors to desire peace. The Roman
general was released on parole and sent to
Rome with the Punic ENJOYS. Regulus
proved himself a regular brick on the &C.
casion. Regardless of what might hap
pen to himself he advised the Roman SEN
ate not to make peace with Carthage. He
said if they continued to fight it out on
that line Carthage was bound to fall. He
was not even in favor of an exchange OF
prisoners. His advice being adopted,
Regulus went back to Carthage with the
ambassadors by the next train and was
promptly put to death. And yet Regulus
has no monument. Who will be the hrst
to subscribe to a Regulus monument

Immense increase tho coming summer. The
